《The Line-Drive》author's thoughts
Advertisement
I hope you're not mad at my supe cliché ending.
This is the first story I've ever written like this.
I wish I'd included a bit more "friend" stuff. Specifically, dynamics between Mackenzie, Hannah, and Kate. (Sorry that Penny basically fell off the map.)
Unfortunately, I think this a bit of a reflection of my first long-term relationship, where I became too focused on my significant other, and not focused enough on my friends.
Eventually I'd like to go back and edit this story and add a bit more of a newspaper element. I don't know; if people have thoughts on that I'd love to hear them. I think I could definitely make this a lot better, but I also think that I need a break from Dane and Mack, even though I love them dearly.
I'm working on another college romance story*, and I'm hoping that I can focus more on friendships in that one. I'm always aiming for improvement, to be better than yesterday, and to learn from my mistakes and shortcomings. I'm glad to read any feedback that anyone has.
Please feel free to comment anything that you'd like to see in that one, formatting or otherwise. For example, real chapter titles, chapter titles that include whose perspective it's from, more of X, less of Y, etc.
Also, this feels like a weird request, but I'd love if y'all could follow me so that I can interact with you more. I'd love to get feedback and ideas about what you'd like to see next.
Thank you for reading The Line-Drive. I appreciate each and every one of you.

I was Summoned as a Hero, but I Became the Demon Lord Instead
"Ah, how I wish I could be summoned to another world." I’d always thought of such a naive wish of escapism would never be granted. However, shit happened and I was somehow summoned. However, in some strange twist of fate, I was no longer needed and disposed of, but that’s okay because I didn’t want to be a summoned hero to begin with. My new beginning may have been abruptly cut short, but even so, that is fine. There is a path I’m much more interested in. Mwuhahaha! Cough cough cough. Though, my sinister laugh may still need some practice. I was Summoned as a Hero , but I Became the Demon Lord Instead Volume 1 Word Count: 108K Including Volume Exclusive Content Available on Amazon Edit: If you don’t get the timeline that’s because the rate at which time flows in different worlds are not equal. In addition, timelines do not neccesarily run parallel to each other, they may cascade such that when summoned to another world you may get summoned from a different reference frame in the timeline of another world’s with respect to your own. Scientific constants can change from one plane to the next. The natural laws that govern each world is not necessarily the same across them all. Some may display similarities, while others may be the complete opposite where rather than aging forwards you actually age in reverse. Newborns could be born elderly and withered, but when they are born into the world, their body regresses towards death in reverse.

Directorate: Nationbuilding in Apocalypse
A nation is just a means of survival. Metro Manila fell within 5 months of the first report of cannibalism. Once a hyperurbanized region of 15 million inhabitants, it's been reduced to a dead, greenless shell. Most of the infected had since left to ravage the countryside. The central government was nowhere to be found. Among the survivors who clung to the few gardens and humble plots of arable land left, one of them finds evidence that the slaughter wasn't going to just end with the first wave. Without a nation and a wall of guns, everyone will die. Directorate is an original nationbuilding webnovel that focuses on the gradual rise to power of a select few individuals, and the subsequent unification of the survivors of a devastated Metro Manila. Releases targeted at every 1 to 3 weeks. If there are no chapter updates after 3 weeks, there will be a progress update. Number of releases targeted at a maximum of 100 chapters. Every 10-15 chapters, there will be a 1-month hiatus to let me plan for the next 10-15 chapters. Double releases have a not-insignificant-but-still-small chance of occurring. Original cover edited on GIMP. Destroyed city original photo "apocalypse" from Camila Rodrigues on Pixabay.
